Road to Rebirth

Chapter 79
Here Gu Xiaoqing has brought Gu Xiaojie home.

Dinner is simply eaten.

The whole family gathered around the kang and began to settle accounts every day.

Li Xuemei has already practiced it, after counting, Li Xuemei's mouth is almost grinning behind her ears.

Gu Ruhai was still sitting on the stool beside him, seeing his daughter-in-law smiling like crazy, couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

No matter how you look at it, my daughter-in-law is a bit of a precursor to madness.

When Li Xuemei slapped the table, the whole family trembled in fright, what's the matter?
Gu Xiaoqing knew in her heart that today's income should be a big improvement.

She is very confident in her craftsmanship. Besides, these foods are very common delicacies, and her own recipes are in them. If her own food can't be sold, let alone those from the provincial capital.

These are also the secret recipes of a century-old brand.

"How much money did you make today, guess what?"

Li Xuemei was surprised.

Looking at Gu Xiaoqing, who was sitting there with her face on one hand, looking at her with a half-smile, she was so beautiful in her heart.

Big tile house.

God, the big tile house seems to be right in front of you.

Gu Ruhai spread out the rough paper in his hand, put the tobacco leaves on it, and began to roll it up. Anyway, he knew that today's business was not bad, so there must be a lot more.

But Gu Ruhai didn't know exactly how much money he made, and he didn't want to bother to guess.

Gu Xiaoying thought for a while and said, "Twenty?"

The main reason is that the haggis that I brought today has been sold, and there are still some meatballs left, but not many. Gu Xiaoying has at least gone to school for a few days, so she can still count.

Today's situation is estimated to have this number.

Gu Xiaojie said mischievously, "25!"

This is purely Gu Xiaojie's random guess, mainly because my sister said so, and I feel that there are more than my sister. In fact, 25 and [-] are similar to Gu Xiaojie, and I have no idea.

Li Xuemei was so excited, she said with a smile on her face, "It's 35!"

Yang raised the neat stack of papers in his hand, that proud energy.

Gu Ruhai was so frightened that his hands trembled, the cigarettes he just rolled fell on the ground, the paper rolls were scattered, and there were tobacco leaves all over the floor. He stood up and asked a little at a loss, "How much?"

Li Xuemei raised her hand, her eyes were full of joy, so dazzling that no one could ignore it.

"35 yuan positive!"

That voice was resolute.

Gu Ruhai laughed foolishly for a long time, then he didn't seem to know what to do, he walked around in place, rubbed his hands together, and ran to the yard outside.

Li Xuemei didn't know what Gu Ruhai wanted to do, so she hurriedly asked, "Father, what are you doing?"

"Don't worry, I'll be right there!"

Gu Ruhai's trembling voice sounded from the courtyard wall.

Li Xuemei also felt relieved.

But then he said to the three children with a little worry: "You three shut your mouths tightly. You can't tell anyone who asks. Just say that you are only making a small amount of money. If you let outsiders know, maybe you will attract thieves. It's time to get in trouble."

This is also a normal worry. You must know that in rural areas, if anyone has some money, they will hide it. In people's hearts, that is the truth.

After all, the folk customs of this era are still simple.

But there is no such thing as showing off wealth.

Gu Xiaoying, Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaojie all nodded their heads repeatedly. In their hearts, if a thief was recruited at home, it would be a big deal.

Gu Xiaojie even covered his mouth tightly childishly, looking around with his round black eyes, his worried appearance was very pleasing to the whole family.

It made Gu Xiaoqing lean back and forth with a smile.

Gu Ruhai walked in after a while, holding a thin bamboo pole in his hand, and squatting on the ground at the door, gesticulating.

Li Xuemei, Gu Xiaoqing, Gu Xiaoying, and Gu Xiaojie were all curious, so they walked over to have a look.

Ha ha.

Gu Ruhai couldn't read.

So holding a wooden stick on the ground is gesturing to the structure of a five-room large tile-roofed house.

Li Xuemei was also happy.

For the first time, the two couples started talking about the big tile house like children.

In the hearts of the couple, 35 a day, how much is this month, that is 1000 yuan.

It only takes a month to prepare a house.

Can you be happy in your heart?

This good day seems to appear in front of you in the blink of an eye. Can the two of you be enthusiastic?

In the countryside, building a house is the top priority, and the prosperity of a family is related to this.

Gu Ruhai is a man with no big ambitions, he belongs to the honest kind of man, he has neither courage nor courage, in his heart, he never thought in his life that he would be able to build a house one day.

Maybe there was once in sleep.

But in real life, Gu Ruhai had long since given up without even a single ripple.

In Gu Ruhai's heart, it was a problem to have enough to eat a few years ago, not to mention money, he had to get some from Li Xuemei's natal family to subsidize it all year round, otherwise even the most basic seasonings such as salt, soy sauce and vinegar would be required. broken.

At the beginning of this year, the land reform came to them, and each family contracted a few more acres of land, just to make more money.

Gu Ruhai also contracted an additional eight acres of land, which was the most courageous thing Gu Ruhai did in his life, and he planned to get some more money by the end of the year.

But even if the year is good and the harvest is good this year, Gu Ruhai has calculated that a hundred or so is a good thing.

If you want to build a house, it will take the whole family to tighten their belts for 30 years without eating or drinking.

30 Ah.

Thirty years is a long time, when the time comes, there will be the marriage of two girls, Gu Xiaoying and Gu Xiaoqing, all of which will require a sum of money from the family, and Xiaojie will also need to go to school.

Therefore, if all these buildings are added up, they will not be able to be built in 30 years.

Gu Ruhai is also a man, he can think of things that other people can do.

That man doesn't want to be famous and respectable outside.

It's a pity that I don't have that ability.

But it's only been a few short months, and everything has changed, and it's only three months.

Everything is different at home.

For the past three months, Li Xuemei would calculate it every day. Apart from the money to build the house, the two of them also estimated that as long as this continues, they now have nearly 1000 yuan, and six or seven months of hard work will be enough.

But everything is different now.

35 per day.

That's one thousand a month.

It means that it only takes three months, and there is no need for the Chinese New Year, to save enough money.
